Default Where to buy small springs.

Hi all,

I need six compression springs, about 20-30mm long and fairly stiff,
to go over M5 screws. They're for some home-brew headlight aim
adjusters.

Looking online doesn't seem to be turning up anything suitable. I
guess I need someone that does model engineering supplies or something
like that, but a quick online search doesn't seem to be turning
anything up.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Colin.


Its easy enough to wind your won from steel wire.

Model shops do it down to about 30 SWG and below that guitar strings work.
